James Ross - A Bird Said This

Purchasable with gift card

about

An improvisation for solo alto Pythag-Or-Equal guitar. A bit of an Indian sound here, mostly because of the glissandos and all those open fifths.

Pythag-Or-Equal guitar is a name for a unique method of stringing and tuning a standard 12-tone equal tempered guitar. Tuned primarily in seconds, as opposed to the fourths of standard guitar tuning, Pythag-Or-Equal tuning allows a gamut of six different pitches (playable in two octaves) that are pure Pythagorean (3-limit) intervals, and four more tones with an error from Pythagorean of +/-2 or +/- 4 cents.
